Maryland at Boston College

Any time you can play on a home team in the ACC, not playing Duke, or NC, and you basically just need to win, you have to give them strong consideration. Last year MD was 6-2 at home, but life in the ACC, on the road, is cruel, as they posted only two wins in eight tries. Five of the losses by double digits. BC was 6-2 at home last year, and losses to Vermont and Providence have this line held down, as MD has jumped to a 9-1 start. The games take on a much different meaning when conference play begins, and holding serve at home is a must, for any shot at finishing high enough in the ACC, so come tourney time, the NCAA'S come calling. This is a young MD team with talent, but they will find that life on the road, vs. a talented BC team is not to their liking.
